Add PhotosIt has been at the present site since about 1837 when the first church at Kearsley was completed.
Plans for a larger building began around 1872 and the New Church was built at a cost of near £7000 and dedicated on the 4th December 1878.
In 1954 a Building Fund was set up to enable the church to build a schoolroom/hall of their own, which was opened in 1958.
In 1967 notice was given that the new hall had to be demolished for the building of the M62 motorway – part of the old graveyard was under the roundabout for the Kearsley spur exit on to the A666 road. With the compensation, a new and bigger hall was built and opened in 1972.
This Hall was later demolished and a smaller, more manageable building was rebuilt which was opened in 2007.
The large church building from 1878 had dry rot and was pulled down in 1982 and rebuilt in 1983.
The remains of the old building were landscaped into a 'mound' behind the cremation plots and some of the gravestones were placed around the mound.
